Dear Editor,
We must highlight when our nation's politicians do good.
The recent handing over of 56 tablets to students from seven schools in the Eastern Kingston and Port Royal Constituency with the assistance of Digicel Jamaica is worthy to be mentioned. It was the initiative of Minister Phillip Paulwell.
In this the age of technology and the advancement thereof, the Minister of Science, Technology, Energy, and Mining has a dream that one day every student in Jamaica, from the primary to tertiary level, will have a computer for the purpose of advancing the education process.
It will see fewer burdens on the average Jamaican parent to purchase books, which at times total some $30,000 plus for the year. He has a dream that Jamaica can be among the top-ranking nations, both technologically and educationally, and he is working assiduously towards that.
I write also to highlight the work being done in his constituency with the fixing of roads. These have not been fixed for some 30 plus years. His social intervention programmes, such as the Constituency's Reading Programme, have been running for years. This has facilitated parents and students to advance themselves and create opportunites to achieve more. The minister just recently hosted a treat for the elderly in Port Royal to hand out bun and cheese which was symbolic during the Easter Holidays. There are a slew of other initiatives which have been to the benefit of many. He is ably aided by Councillors Lorraine Dobson and Her Worship the Mayor Angella Brown Burke.
Well done, Phillip, and continue to make Jamaica and your constituency proud!
